*So,
this short little nugget is found in Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the
Force, which we’ve talked about a bit already.
Part One of the book is called History and Holocrons and it spends a
little time talking about various holocrons and then works through the timeline
of the major battles between the Jedi and the Sith.

*So,
this one is about one double-columned page in length. The author of this brief note on the
Hundred-Year Darkness is Vodo-Siosk Baas.

*Anyway,
as you might note, this is about 8,000 years on from our last work, Xim at
Vontor. At approximately this point, we
get the Second Great Jedi Schism. A group
of Dark Jedi break away from the Jedi Order and spend their time using the Dark
Side to create huge monsters that they call Leviathans.

*The
Jedi Order goes to war against these Dark Jedi and the war lasts for more than
a century. Ultimately, the Dark Jedi and
their Leviathans make a final stand on Corbos.
The Jedi are triumphant.

*The
surviving Dark Jedi . . . ah, this is
significant! The surviving Dark Jedi are
exiled from the Republic. Leaving the
Republic, these Dark Jedi run across an uncharted world far in the wilds of
space . . . a world called Korriban!

*Obviously,
we all remember Tales of the Jedi and all that.
The Dark Jedi conquer the indigenous people of Korriban, a red-skinned,
devilish race called the Sith. They
spend the next two thousand years building an Empire. But then . . . after two thousand years, the
piper comes calling and the exiled Dark Jedi return to the Republic. As we know.

*Then
there’s an addendum by Tionne where she mentions that a Dark Jedi named Ajunta
Pall was the founder of the Sith Empire on Korriban. She also mentions that some surviving
Leviathans have been found on Corbos. I
guess that was probably in that comic book called Leviathan, which I haven’t
read.

*Hmm,
okay . . . well, not much to say about this one.
